The objective of the study was to examine the effects of restraint and blood sampling method on blood lactate concentration (LAC) in pigs. Restraint methods used were snaring or restraint with sorting boards. Blood was sampled from 120 pigs at approximately 165 d of age (278.0 ± 6.4 lb) over 2 consecutive days. Each day, 30 pigs were sampled per method. All pigs were housed in one barn, and pigs in adjacent pens were not sampled simultaneously. Snaring consisted of a trained handler snaring each pig while blood was collected via jugular venipuncture (approximately 7 mL). Restraint with sorting boards …

Producers have adopted marketing strategies such as topping to help reduce economic losses from weight discounts, but they are still missing target weights and incurring discounts. We have previously determined the accuracy of sampling methods producers use to estimate the mean weight of the population. Although knowing the mean weight is important, understanding how much variation or dispersion exists in individual pig weights within a group can also enhance a producer's ability to determine the optimal time to top pigs. In statistics and probability theory, the amount of variation in a population is represented by the standard deviation; therefore, our …
Meta-Analysis Comparing Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics, And Water Usage Of Growing-Finishing Pigs Fed Using Conventional Dry And Wet-Dry Feeders (2012), S Nitikanchana, Michael D. Tokach, Joel M. Derouchey, Robert D. Goodband, Jim L. Nelssen, Steven S. Dritz

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Fifteen trials were used for meta-analyses comparing the effects of conventional dry (CD) and wet-dry (WD) feeders on growth performance, carcass traits, and water usage of growing-finishing pigs. The meta-analysis indicated that pigs fed with WD feeders consistently had greater (P<0.01) ADG (0.09 lb/d) and ADFI compared with those fed with CD feeders; however, although highly variable, no overall difference (P = 0.93) was observed in F/G. As a result of improved growth rate, final BW and HCW of pigs fed with WD feeders was 3.2% greater (P<0.01) than when fed with CD feeders. For carcass traits, backfat was greater (P<0.01) and percentage lean was lower (P<0.01) in pigs fed with WD feeders compared with those fed with CD feeders. Carcass yield and loin depth did not differ (P>0.14) among feeder types. Water usage for pigs fed with WD feeders was 0.4 gal/pig/d less (P = 0.02) than for pigs using CD feeders. Growing-finishing pigs fed with WD feeders had increased growth rate, feed intake, final BW, and HCW, but deposited more fat as indicated by greater backfat and lower percentage lean.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of increasing medium-oil dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS; 7.4% fat, 28.1% CP, 10.8% ADF, and 25.6% NDF) on growth performance and carcass traits in finishing pigs. A total of 288 pigs (PIC 327 × 1050; initially 151.8 lb) were allotted to 1 of 4 dietary treatments. Treatments consisted of a corn-soybean meal control diet or the control diet with 15, 30, or 45% medium-oil DDGS, with 8 pigs per pen and 8 replications per treatment. Increasing medium-oil DDGS decreased (linear, P<0.01) ADG and worsened (linear, P<0.02) F/G. In addition, final BW, HCW, carcass yield, and loin-eye depth decreased (linear, P<0.03), and jowl iodine value (IV) increased (linear, P<0.001) with increasing medium-oil DDGS. When pigs are fed traditional DDGS containing>10.5% fat, each 10% DDGS added to the diet increases …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 1,235 pigs (PIC 337 × 1050; initially 68.4 lb) were used in a 118-d study to determine the effects of 7.5 and 15% ground or unground soybean hulls on growth performance and carcass characteristics of finishing pigs raised in a commercial environment. Pens of pigs were balanced by initial weight and randomly allotted to 1 of 5 dietary treatments in a completely randomized design with 26 to 28 pigs per pen and 9 replications per treatment. Treatments were arranged in a 2 × 2 factorial, and main effects were soybean hull particle size (unground or ground, 787 …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 1,263 pigs (PIC 337 × 1050; initially 77.8 lb) were used in a 102-d study to determine the effects of dietary bakery by-product on pig growth performance and carcass quality. Pigs were randomly assigned to pens based on gender (14 barrow pens, 11 gilt pens, and 23 mixed-gender pens). Pens of pigs were allotted to 1 of 3 dietary treatments in a completely randomized design while balancing for initial BW and gender. Dietary treatments included 0, 7.5, and 15% bakery by-product. On d 84, the 5 heaviest pigs from each pen (determined visually) were sold according to …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 224 weanling pigs were used in a 34-d growth assay. The pigs were sorted by gender and ancestry, blocked by BW, and assigned to pens (7 pigs/pen and 8 pens/ treatment) in a randomized complete block design. From d 0 to 10, treatments were arranged as a 2 × 2 factorial with main effects of primary protein sources (plant vs. animal) and inclusion of soybean meal (none vs. 30%). The plant products diets had wheat gluten and corn gluten, and the animal products diets had animal plasma and fish meal as primary protein sources. All diets were …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of a dietary enzyme blend and diet complexity on weanling pig performance. In Exp. 1, 180 pigs (initially 12.7 lb BW and 21 d of age) were used in an 18-d growth trial. Pigs were blocked by weight and randomly allotted to 1 of 3 dietary treatments with 5 pigs per pen and 12 pens per treatment. The 3 dietary treatments included (1) a high-complexity positive control, (2) a low-complexity negative control, and (3) a treatment with an added proprietary enzyme blend (Engrain LLC, Manhattan, KS). All diets were fed in 2 …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 126 gilts and sows (PIC 1050) and their litters were used to determine the effect of dietary vitamin E level and source on sow plasma, milk, and piglet tissue concentrations of α-tocopherol. The 6 dietary treatments included 2 levels of dl-α- tocopherol acetate (Syn E) at 44 and 66 mg/kg (40,000 and 60,000 mg/ton) and 4 levels of d-α-tocopherol acetate (Nat E) at 11, 22, 33, and 44 mg/kg (10,000, 20,000, 30,000 and 40,000 mg/ton). From breeding through d 69 of gestation, sows were fed 4.5 lb/d of a diet containing 40% dried distillers grains with solubles …

Pork producers and advisers to the swine industry were surveyed about their knowledge of feed efficiency. The questionnaire was designed to accomplish three objectives: (a) determine the level of knowledge related to feed efficiency topics, (b) identify production practices being used that influence feed efficiency, and (c) identify information gaps or areas requiring additional knowledge to further improve feed efficiency. Producer responses imply that they are unfamiliar with information behind the effects of fat inclusion, particle size reduction, feed additives, and thermal environment on feed efficiency. Many were not sure which energy system to use for evaluating dietary energy. Consultants …
Carryover Effects Of Crude Glycerin Fed During The Growing Phase On Finishing Cattle Performance And Carcass Characteristics, C. C. Aperce, J. S. Drouillard
Carryover Effects Of Crude Glycerin Fed During The Growing Phase On Finishing Cattle Performance And Carcass Characteristics, C. C. Aperce, J. S. Drouillard
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Crude glycerin is a byproduct of biodiesel production, and its use as a feedstuff for cattle has expanded in the last decade due to increased availability and favorable pricing compared with other energy concentrates such as cereal grains. Incorporation of glycerin into cereal-based finishing diets, at levels up to 8%, has been shown to improve cattle performance; however, it decreases activity of cellulolytic microorganisms in the rumen, ultimately decreasing fiber digestion. Most of the studies conducted to date have evaluated glycerin in finishing diets that contain relatively small amounts of fiber, but little is known of its value as an …
